UNLV recruiting

[BleedRebelRed]

UNLV picked up a commitment from DE Kevon Ivy out of Texas.  Other offers included Ole Miss, Memphis, and Nevada.

Crystal Ball has him at 100% UNLV.

That’s a great commitment, Fresno was recruiting him for awhile but then went in a different direction.

Grayson did announce his commitment to UNLV this morning.

Grayson is a TE who could also play LB (but was recruited primarily as a TE by UNLV).  Grayson had 9 offers including MWC schools SDSU, Fresno St, CSU, Wyoming, and New Mexico.

The real fight between the Bulldog and Rebel staffs is over Nick Dimitris.  The "experts" say Fresno St but we're still holding out hope.

Although I see SDSU is making a late effort at Dimitris and offered him this week.

My guess is that Dimitris picks UNLV.  Behind the scenes, I feel like we’re pushing harder.

I just hope that Marcus Arroyo isn’t another Dave Rice.

Big day for UNLV recruiting.

ILB Marsel McDuffie out of TX committed to UNLV.  McDuffie's offer list included 12 schools, including Baylor, Georgia Tech, and Kansas.

CB Jakelyn Morgan out of TX committed to UNLV.  Morgan had offers from 22 schools, including Arizona and four MWC schools.  This is four DB commits for UNLV in the '21 class.

Another big day for UNLV recruiting:

WR Aaron Holloway committed to UNLV, becoming Coach Arroyo's first local recruit.

The 247Sports "expert predictions" for DE Nick Dimitris began to shift heavily from Fresno St to UNLV ahead of his Saturday commitment.

UNLV is also consider the leader to commit S Jaylen Lane on Friday, a player who has offers from Houston, Kansas, and 5 MWC schools.

I hope Dimitris realizes if he goes to UNLV he’s headed to a program that will be trying to overcome a chronic losing history. 
Its all great playing in a shiny new stadium, but that will get old fast for him  having losing seasons in front of few fans?

Recruits don't care about the past.  They care about the future and getting to the NFL.  As an example, I bet that there are players on Alabama who had no clue who Paul "Bear" Bryant was until they arrived on campus.

Utter nonsense.

Dimitris is RAW. He is a tremendous athlete, but he needs development. He's only played organized football for a year. Best of luck to him wherever he ends up.

Would like to have him as a Bulldog...

[TheDoggFather]

I'd like to have him too, but I'm keeping this in perspective.

Me too, don’t want the sour grapes persona...

UNLV just landed the 4th of hopefully 5 commits this week.

Safety Jaylen Lane's had offers from 8 G5 schools and 1 P5.  With four '21 CBs already committed and some solid incoming '20 DBs the outlook is looking much better for the defensive secondary.

DE Nick Dimitris will announce at 2pm today.

Now there are four 247Sports predictions on Dimitris, and all four are for UNLV. 

After consistently being at the bottom of the sack rankings for the past decade UNLV landed DE LeShaun Bell in the '20 class, and the addition of Dimitris in the '21 class could mean the sack numbers are finally going to improve.

Our pass rush has been embarrassingly bad.  Even with a more aggressive scheme under Skipper, it had a minor positive effect at best.

It looks like your staff closed really well on Dimitris. We’ll find out for sure in about half an hour, but I’m not holding out hope of him coming to Fresno.
